I get what you're saying, and to some extent I think you're right. But the glorification is used to sell CD's to kids that aren't glorified in it, they're simply engaging an emotional or psychological defense mechanism to cope with their reality. They glorify it to simulate choice, if you believe you're making a choice, it gets easier to cope with being powerless and scared because you're not dealing with it, you're just waxing over and ignoring it. All people do that to some extent, how much and how severe depends on a lot of things, mostly environment (at least initially).
Peace.
